Abstract:
Go-Geo! is a tool designed to help you find details about geo-spatial data sets and related resources within Great Britain tertiary education and beyond. This is a trial service for the academic community.

Go-Geo! is an online resource discovery tool which allows for the identification and retrieval of records describing the content, quality, condition and other characteristics of geospatial data ... that exist with UK tertiary education and beyond. The portal supports geospatial searching by interactive map, grid co-ordinates and place name, as well as the more traditional topic or keyword forms of searching. The portal is a key component of the UK academic Spatial Data Infrastructure.

Go-Geo! has been a cooperative effort between EDINA National Data Centre, University of Edinburgh, and the UK Data Archive, University of Essex. To date there have been 3 phases in the development of Go-Geo!, all funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) under the JISC Portals Programme. More information on each of these phases can be found on the project web site for phases 1 to 3 at the UK Data Archive.
